Charles the Snake

Classic maze, one color to eat

Free

Seven colors of beans, only one is safe. Turn fast, keep the streak burning, then spend 39 talent points on the snake you want to be. Charles the Snake is classic snake with a twist that changes everything: only ONE color is safe to eat. Magic beans fill the maze in seven colors, but Charles may only eat the target color — one wrong bean and the run is over. The panel always shows which color is coming next, so every bite is a small plan: line up the next target, pick your route, and keep the streak alive. HOW IT PLAYS • Swipe to steer — smooth, continuous movement built for quick, deliberate turns • Eat the target color to grow, score, and promote the next color • Every bean makes Charles a little faster — how long can you keep up? • Chain quick eats to keep your scoring streak burning • One wrong bean ends the run. No second chances… almost. SPECIAL BEANS • The GOLDEN BEAN ignites a long golden streak — harvest bonus beans while it lasts • The SHIELD BEAN forgives one wrong bean and saves your run • Special beans never expire, and choosing when to grab them is half the strategy DARK MODE • Flip the moon switch and play the same rules at night • In the dark you see beans only up close — walls loom from farther away, and no arrows point the way • The NIGHT BEAN lights up the whole room for a few seconds • Dark mode keeps its own records, leaderboard, and tutorial LEVELS AND TALENTS • Every run adds to a lifetime level — 40 of them to climb • From level 2, each level earns a talent point • Spend them in a tree of 29 talents across three branches: Memory, Reflex and Planning • Longer streaks, a moment to turn away from a wall, a second shield charge, deeper sight in the dark — every talent sharpens something Charles already does • Four forks make you choose, so no two builds play the same A NEW MAZE EVERY RUN Every room is generated fresh — new walls, new routes, new escapes. No two runs are ever the same. COMPETE • Global leaderboard through Game Center — see where your best run lands • 20 Game Center achievements to hunt down • Your scores and stats, kept on your device • A built-in How to Play that shows every rule in seconds THE DETAILS • Free, with no in-app purchases • No account, no sign-up — install and play • Plays offline — no Wi-Fi needed • Play in 11 languages • An occasional ad may appear between rounds — never during play

I fixed two small problems that could show up after the game had been left open in the background for a while. Before an ad opens, an "Ad" screen now shows for a second, so a quick swipe can't open the ad by mistake.
